Delete 3 days older indices from elasticsearch

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi.

I want to delete the 5 days older indices from elasticsearch. I have gone through the some elastic community links . Found the best way for this on this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33430055/removing-old-indices-in-elasticsearch/42268400#42268400

So downloaded curator for windows from :https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/4.2/windows-zip.html

After this : I have created the config.yml and action.yml file as follows:

client:
hosts: ["127.0.0.1:9200"]
url_prefix:
use_ssl: False
certificate:
client_cert:
client_key:
aws_key:
aws_secret_key:
aws_region:
ssl_no_validate: False
http_auth:
timeout: 30
master_only: False

logging:
loglevel: INFO
logfile: "/root/curator/logs/actions.log"
logformat: default
blacklist: ['elasticsearch', 'urllib3']

actions:
1:
action: delete_indices
description: >-
Delete indices older than 3 days (based on index name), for logstash-
prefixed indices. Ignore the error if the filter does not result in an
actionable list of indices (ignore_empty_list) and exit cleanly.
options:
ignore_empty_list: True
timeout_override:
continue_if_exception: False
disable_action: False
filters:
- filtertype: pattern
kind: prefix
value: logstash-
exclude:
- filtertype: age
source: name
direction: older
timestring: '%Y.%m.%d'
unit: days
unit_count: 3
exclude:

And I am running the command : $ curater --config C:/ElasticSearch/curator-4.2.6-win32/config.yml C:/ElasticSearch/curator-4.2.6-win32/action.yml

But it gives me the error : bash: curater: command not found

It's spelled curator, rather than curater

Additionally, if you installed Curator for windows, it won't be runnable in Bash for Windows, but rather in 'CMD` or Powershell

Sorry for the typo but still the same error : $ curator --config C:/ElasticSearch/curator-4.2.6-win32/config.yml C:/ElasticSearch/curator-4.2.6-win32/action.yml
bash: curator: command not found

I can not run the cmd on my machine ,I don't have access . so I am using the bash cmd . The ElasticSearch , kibana and logstash are working fine on my machine . How can I run the curator in the same way , I am running Eelastic and all?

You would need to install the DEB version there, or install Python inside Bash for windows, and install via pip there.
